Solitude lulls me

A love as deep as the oceans...

 

 

Solitude lulls me

 

 

Soft sand, quill feather dreams float silently as

aquamarine emotions take me there

on tides of sapphire sea spray waves,

beneath sighing tiffany blue skies

 

“I sleep, so I may dream of you,

on wind swept wings, forever true”

 

Caressing my body as I slumber,

this sea, my warmth, my comforting wrap

keeps me safe in the glistening bounty of all that is beautiful,

while my mind ebbs to its melodic sound

 

“Solitude lulls me, on whispering waves,

singing the rhythm of warm summer days” 

 

My eyes now closed, still witness visions of aquatic peace,

harmony on polished glass, mirrored by a morning light

along crescent shores and weathered dune desires,

resting somewhere between the pages of this I keep

 

“Your poetry my world, if ever we’re apart,

touches me with splendor, so soft upon my heart”

 

Soon I shall rise with the sun, framed by green mountains

and terra cotta sands, to walk among the ermine white foam,

tracing my steps and following my every thought

of you

 

“This love, as any ocean deep,

            within my heart, for you I keep”

Sleep is something so precious, (if one get's it) and to dream a several times in one night, or at the beach is even more fantastic. Here you bring me smiles on my face, of idyllic moments Jack. So good to see how our Frieda inspires you, she is one of the best in picking the most beautiful artworks and pictures out.

Very sweet, and romantic my friend.

The vividness of this scenery is what stood out to me the most. There are so many colors of both the landscape and the feelings that are associated with that magical place. I like the thought of the poetry being their world in the sixth stanza.

[Jack...]

Beautifully penned Jack and i believe the painting is Jim Warrens work...which complimented your poem wonderfully...loved it..Rose

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Rose. Frieda sent me the painting and asked if I'd write a poem to it and you know I'm not one to say no to a pretty lady.

[J. Kell]

I really enjoyed this! great poem... Definitely have a way with words "beneath sighing Tiffany blue skies" I loved that line. There is a great flow to this piece.
